Linhai County.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Wang, Lin Youxie remained expressionless.
Qingpai has its own secret channels, and you can find places to rest and rest everywhere. But Uriel hasn’t used Qingpai’s resources for a long time.
The two of them walked among the crowd, as close and natural as any ordinary pair of grandparents.
"In a bad mood?" Uriel asked casually, "Is it because of Jiang Qingyang's attitude?"
He didn't think that Lin Youxie had any special feelings for Jiang Wang. With so little contact, we won’t get to that point.
But for a young man like Jiang Wang who is regarded as an outstanding person no matter how you look at it, his avoidant attitude will inevitably lead to self-doubt.
Lin Youxie did not deny it, but just asked a question: "If he is a good person, then if he hates me, does that mean I am a bad person?"
Uriel smiled: "The world's standards for evaluating good and bad people are not always the same as our Qingpai's standards for right and wrong."
"You are not a good person, and I am not a good person. But neither of us are bad people. The law is a rule, a law. A true Qingpai must first strip away the definitions of good people and bad people, and only obey the 'law'."
"It's normal for Jiang Qingyang to shy away from us. Anyone who is stared at by us will hate us. But this is not a reason for us to doubt ourselves, and we don't need to change for this."
"An excellent Qingpai must be hated by people and ghosts. The better he is, the more so. Because he only talks about rules and not about human feelings."
Uriel spread out his palms and counted the palm prints, as if recounting the stories of those times: "But when people evaluate good and bad, they only care about 'being good to me' or 'being bad to me', not good or bad." Itself. This is human nature. However, the law cannot tolerate mercy."
"Grandpa Wu." Lin Youxie thought for a while and said, "You said that we should separate right from wrong and only obey the 'law' and the rules. But you have been pursuing the Tian family for so many years, and you have not received any permission or any laws. I support you. Isn't this against the rules, not following the 'law', and goes against your Tao?"
"It's good that you can think this far." Uriel retracted his palm and said softly: "The 'permission' and 'support' you mentioned are not 'law'. The order of a big shot and the oral instructions of someone are also It's not 'Dharma'. 'Dharma' is as fair as water, tends to be balanced everywhere, and treats everyone equally. 'Dharma' is a beast, touching evil when it sees it, without caring about anything else. It is related to loyalty, filial piety, virtue and foolishness, good and evil, nobility and inferiority. It doesn't matter, if you do evil deeds, you will be punished by the law.
Those people you mentioned who should support me but don't, they follow not the law, but power, pros and cons, and considerations. In their world, the value of a person or a family is higher than the law.
I am different from them.
I follow my 'law' and I walk my way. Ignore everything and avoid people and ghosts. "
"Ignore everything and avoid people and ghosts." Lin Youxie murmured these eight words and felt a particularly determined power.
She seems to have gained something, but also seems to have lost something.
After she had digested it for a while, and while walking, Uriel suddenly asked: "Do you want to go to the Sanxing Palace?"
"Ah?" Lin Youxie was stunned.
She was brought up by Uriel since she was a child, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a biological grandson. How could she not know that in Uriel's heart, the importance of Qi State was far higher than that of Sanxing Palace.
He has the qualifications to go to Sanxing Palace to practice at any time, but even after Qingpai retired, he has never thought of that. Going to a country to seek enlightenment is not something you should be ashamed of, and the country itself will not stop you. But for some people, the desire to protect the country is where the Tao lies.
Uriel's question at this moment is inevitably a bit hazy.
After thinking for a while, Lin Youxie said: "My parents are both from Qi, and I am also from Qi."
Uriel didn't force it, he just said: "That's fine."
Both sides are speechless. The figures of the grandfather and grandson slowly disappeared into the crowd.
…
…
Every drop of "water" surging in the crowd has its own magnificent life.
Some jumped out of the water and were seen by the world, while some disappeared into the sea of people, silent and nameless.
But no matter old or young, virtuous or foolish, prominent or humble, all people are in it. All the people gathered together are the crowd.
"Lord, where are we going?" Fan Qingqing asked.
Although she is a monk in the inner palace, she has always stayed in the offshore islands. So far, this is her first time to come to Qi State. She is very curious about everything here, and her eyes have not stopped along the way.
"I'll write you a letter. You take the letter and go to Qingyang Town in Yangdi to find a girl named Dugu Xiaoxiao. She is my confidant and helps me manage the fief. If there is anything I don't do well, you can teach me more. Teach her.”
Jiang Wang had already made arrangements in his mind: "The country of Qi is very safe. Those who pursue you will not dare to come to Qi for at least five years. You will rest in Qingyang Town, and at the same time be responsible for helping me build the Zhengsheng Palace. I have finished my work in Linzi If things go wrong, I will go back."
Even leaving aside his cultivation level, Fan Qingqing's vision and methods as an elder of a sect were far beyond those of Dugu.
But in terms of trust level, Fan Qingqing is naturally far inferior to Dugu Xiao.
Part of the reason why Fan Qingqing was sent to Qingyang Town was that he could only play a limited role in Linzi. Jiang Wang himself lives in Chongxuansheng's mansion all year round. If anything happens, he doesn't need Fan Qingqing at all. Sending a monk from the inner realm to Qingyang Town will definitely have the effect of overpowering everyone.
With the rapid development of Desheng Trading Company, Qingyang Town, as the hub of the trading company in Yangdi, has become increasingly important. In fact, Dugu Xiao cannot suppress the market, purely relying on the tiger skins of the Chongxuan family. However, no matter how long the tiger skin is worn, it will never be a real tiger.
Letting Fan Qingqing go to Qingyang Town can also teach Dugu Xiao so that she can grow faster.
The most important reason is actually the Zhengsheng Palace.
This time he enjoyed great success in the offshore archipelago, not entirely because he, Jiang, showed off his integrity and was unrivaled. Qi’s extremely important support cannot be ignored.
A person with a clear understanding must know where his achievements come from. If you are so arrogant that you take credit for everything, it is time to destroy yourself.
Similar records are common in history books.
Jiang Wang's large-scale construction in the fiefdom was part of his show of loyalty. This means that he has a deeper sense of belonging to Qi and wants to take root here.
Compared with this, the Zhengsheng Palace's help in the cultivation of the Five Immortals' Ru Meng Ling Shengbu was second to none.
Of course Fan Qingqing would not have any objections to Jiang Wang's decision, so he left after getting the letter.
A dignified monk in the Neifu Realm will certainly not be unable to find a place if he has a clear address. Qi is not a precarious place, and even ordinary people can go out for outings.
Jiang Wang rented a carriage and, as usual, was unwilling to waste any time and planned to return to Linzi during his practice.
Of course, the carriage and horse racing company under Bao's name would definitely not do business with him. He spent double the price to rent a carriage from a small local horse and carriage shop.
However, not long after the carriage set out on the road, it was stopped.
"Dare I ask, is Mr. Jiang Wangjiang in the car?"
